Reviews for Peer Gynt ski touring holiday in Norway
David B review 7 Apr 2025
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Stunning landscapes, combined with great food and welcoming Norwegian hosts.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
This holiday suits skiers with some experience of cross-country skiing, not novice converts from downhill skiing. Even experienced cross-country skiers in our group commented that the downhill sections of this trail were at the more challenging end of the scale for cross-country skiing.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
We requested vegetarian (and fish) options, which all hotels provided. I think our group probably extended the season slightly for some hotels, because in a couple of cases they closed for the winter season as soon as we left. Perhaps that provided a small financial benefit to them, although maintaining a large hotel open for just seven people may not have been a net benefit.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Wonderful.Read the operator's response here:
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts about the Peer Gynt Trail tour. You're absolutely right—the Peer Gynt Trail does offer some more technical downhill sections that can be quite demanding, even for seasoned cross-country skiers. It's a route best suited to those with some prior experience, and we value your note on this as it helps future guests set the right expectations.

Skiing from Kvitfjell to Skeikampen2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Be prepared for skiing with a fair amount of elevation gains. The ski tracks generally were in great condition. I was happy I chose to bring waxable skis instead of skins.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The tour used trains and buses instead of individual cars. The mountain lodges were run by locals and seemed happy to receive us.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Exceeded my expectations. All the transportation, most of accommodations and food were excellent.Holiday Reviews
